network group quickly.

Connecting to network

You can connect the 200M Powerline AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter

directly to the PC’s network adapter, switch, or any other Ethernet

enabled device.

Note: The Ethernet port on the Adapter supports 10/100M

Auto-MDI/MDIX function, you can use a straight-through or a

crossover Ethernet cable when connecting to another Ethernet enabled

device.)

Configuration Utility

The Powerline AV Utility for Windows OS enables the users to identify

TPL-302E devices on the power line network, measures data rate

performance, ensures privacy and performs diagnostics by setting user

defined secure power line networks.

Install Configuration Utility

Insert the Powerline AV utility CD into your CD-ROM drive and the

Auto-run program will appear. Alternatively this can also be done

manually by double clicking the autorun.exe file on the CD.

Click the “Install Software” on the menu to install the Powerline AV

Utility, the install wizard will begin the software installation. Follow the

install wizard instructions completed the Powerline AV Utility install.

Using the Powerline AV Utility

To start the Powerline AV Utility, double click the icon on the

desktop, the Configuration Utility will be executed.

The Configuration Utility was divided into four functions, Device

Information, Network Information, QoS, Security, Upgrade and About,

for details instruction, follow the below section.

Device Information

The Device Information screen shows the device information including

the MAC address, Firmware Version and the connected TPL-302E

device.

Network Information

The Network Information screen shows all devices that were on the

power line network are listed here. Devices that are active on the current

logical network will show a transfer rate and receiver rate.

QoS

QoS requirements are different for various data types such as streaming

video or music, voice and raw data. To provide higher QoS for streaming

data, priority levels can be set using tags at the beginning of data frames.

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 802.1p priority tags on Ethernet

frames are used to specify 8 (0 – 7) levels of ‘user priority’.

The 200M Powerline AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter allows 4 levels of

Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 – 3)). Therefore, the 8 levels of VLAN

Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority, where CAP

3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority might be

used for voice and network management frames, CAP 2 is used for

streaming video and music while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data.

Mapping VLAN tags or TOS bits to CAP levels is easily done using the

VLAN Priority Mapping function on the QoS tab window.

Device Selection

Select the device from the drop down list and configure the device

selected.

List View

The QoS tab includes two list views to provide simple channel access

priority (CAP) classification for individual MAC addresses and IP Ports.

There is a collective limit of eight across both lists. No delimiters, colons,

or dashes are allowed in the MAC address format.

Priority Mapping

The ‘Priority Mapping’ group contains both VLAN and TOS Bit

mapping capability. When selected, packets matching the VLAN or TOS

Bit priority will be assigned the Powerline contention priority (Channel

Access Priority, CAP) as set in the corresponding dropdown box. If a

packet has both VLAN and TOS in it, VLAN will override TOS.

Default CAP

The ‘Default CAP’ group allows for default priority mapping of packets

that do not have a VLAN or TOS bit. Settings are available for Unicast

(directed to a host).

• IGMP - (default CAP 3) - sets the channel access priority for IGMP

frames - these are the group management frames, not the stream data

• Unicast - (default CAP 1) - sets the default channel access priority

for unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping.

• IGMP managed Multicast Stream (default CAP 2) - sets the default

channel access priority for stream data belonging to a snooped IGMP

multicast group.

• Multicast/Broadcast - sets the default CAP1 for multicast frames not

in a snooped group and for broadcast frames.

Reset to default

Press the Reset to default button to restore the factory default QoS

setting.

Save changes

Press the Save changes button to save and execute the modified QoS

setting.

Network ID

This Network ID window is used to set or change the network group id.

Device Selection

Select the device form drop down list will be configure.

Setting the local device Network ID

If the Device Selection is selected to local device

enter the network ID in Network ID filed then click Save changes button

to sets the entered Network ID.

If the Device Selection is selected to remote device

enter the network ID in Network ID filed and enter the remote device

access key in DAK password field then click Save changes button to sets

the entered Network ID. (The DAK password is show on each

TPL-302E’s device label).

Reset to Default

Press the Reset to Default button to restore the factory default network id

setting for “TRENDnet”.

Upgrade

Device Selection

Select the device form drop down list will be configure.

Reboot Device

Press the Reboot Device button to reset the node, which will restore the

initial factory configuration.

Firmware Upgrade

To upgrade the firmware, press the Firmware Upgrade button and then

locate the two firmware files (PIB file *.pib and firmware file *.nvm),

the confirmation windows will pop up, click Yes to start the firmware

upgrade or click No to abort the firmware upgrade.
